My name is Ruth Gordon. I was born in Switzerland in 1950 and left at the age of 16 to pursue my ballet career.
This journey brought me to England in 1969 where I met Simon Gordon, a fine ballet pianist and conductor, in 1978.
Two weeks later we were married. Unbeknownst to me Simon had suffered from Schizophrenia since the age of 11. In 1980 I gave birth to our son Matthew.
Simon's grandmother (a huge influence on his life) died in 1981, incepting an episode of Simon's latent Schizophrenia which culminated in him kidnapping Matthew, beating me and finally committing suicide.
During this period, both Simon and I wrote diaries which are the central components of this book. These diaries display the differences in how we experienced this time of difficulty and hopefully convey the raw emotions of this time.

In a world filled with terror, strife and hopelessness, we seek validation that it is possible to change the world for those in need.

"Are Not My People Worthy" chronicles the growth of Matthew 25: Ministries from a small suitcase ministry to an international humanitarian relief organization shipping humanitarian supplies to the poorest of the poor worldwide.

Moreover, Ian seems to have moved forward in time--because it is six months later when he is treated for the bullet wound.

The Germans are desperate to know the exact date of the allied invasion so they can defeat the American and British forces. It’s up to Ian to stop them from finding out. Amid tank battles, bombers ruling the skies, and U-Boat and E-boat attacks, it seems Ian does not have enough conflict – might as well toss in a Texas ranch girl out to steal his heart.
